JPMorgan's CEO slams bitcoin as a 'fraud'

In an appearance at a separate conference earlier in the day, Dimon said bitcoin mania is reminiscent of the tulip bulb craze in the 17th century. He said he'd fire, on grounds of stupidity, any trader who traded it.

Dimon also said he'd "fire in a second" any JPMorgan trader who was trading bitcoin, noting two reasons: "It's against our rules and they are stupid".

The remarks aren't a surprise, as Dimon has a long history of being critical of bitcoin, so fans will doubtless comfort themselves with the thought that his prediction that bitcoin will be stopped hasn't happened yet.

Bitcoin has soared in recent months, spurred by greater acceptance of the blockchain technology that underpins the exchange method and optimism that faster transaction times will encourage broader use of the cryptocurrency.
